Prior to the G20 Summit, which will be held in New Delhi on September 9–10, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will travel to Jakarta, Indonesia, for a two-day trip to attend the 20th ASEAN-India Summit and the 18th East Asia Summit (EAS) on September 6-7, the external affairs ministry said. PM Modi will travel to Jakarta. Indonesia is a member of the G20 "troika" because it presided over the G20 meeting last year.
The ASEAN-India Summit will be the first Summit since the elevation of ties between India and the Association of South East Asian Nations bloc of countries to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in 2022.
The foreign ministry said that the Summit will review the progress of India-ASEAN relations and chart the future direction of cooperation. According to a statement, the East Asia Summit would provide an opportunity for leaders of ASEAN countries and its eight dialogue partners, including India, to exchange views on issues of regional and global significance.
The ASEAN-India Trade in Goods Agreement (AITIGA), which was signed in 2009, was the primary item on the agenda of the ASEAN-India Economic Ministers' conference in August in Indonesia.
A joint committee agreed to a regular, quarterly schedule of negotiations, which would conclude the review of the ASEAN-India FTA in 2025.
